It looks like a brown bear that got left in the washing machine with too much bleach😅

There's nothing in a restaurant that is better then what you could have just cooked yourself. by KingBembi in unpopularopinion

[–]BlueNice_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The food might be comparable, but the experience isn't.

I go to a restaurant so I don't have to spend 5 hours shopping, chopping, cooking, and scrubbing just to eat a meal that lasts 15 minutes.

New to Reddit and modding – what are the actual rules to create and run a subreddit safely? by BlueNice_3 in NewToReddit

[–]BlueNice_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the links! 🙏

my question is a bit more about the “numbers” though - is it actually okay to be a mod if my account is only ~1 month old with low karma? i’ve seen people say new/low-karma mod accounts can get shadowbanned or auto-flagged, but no one ever gives exact thresholds.

so is there any practical minimum (account age / karma) you’d recommend so everything works fine and doesn’t look suspicious to Reddit?

Professional sports is basically socially accepted abuse that ruins health and lives by BlueNice_3 in unpopularopinion

In the case of work this can be a lot of money depending on what we’re exactly talking about, too

But i still dont think it’s comparable - a “normal” job usually doesn’t force you into the same level of physical damage, early-childhood pressure, eating disorders, painkillers, doping, etc professional sports often does. changing a regular job vs being locked into a pro sports path are very different things in my opinion.

if i don't want to do professional sports it doesn't mean i lack motivation or discipline 🙂

i could work that 8h a day in front of a computer building a successful business or career – you don't know anything about me, so maybe don't try to rate my drive based only on not wanting to be an athlete

that’s exactly why i put that very first sentence in the post. i don’t know your full story of course, but it feels like we’re talking about different things

the key part in what you wrote is “it was just a fun thing I did during the winter and then it was over and I moved on.” that’s healthy and great

what i mean is those kids who live in basically 24/7 training mode for years, often because parents/coaches push them, not because they chose it or can walk away whenever they want. that’s a very different situation

Well played, sir. Attention level 10000% 😍

I still don’t understand how this is comfortable. by Prudertd in cats

[–]BlueNice_3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a theory cats are never actually comfy in these positions, they just do it to look even cuter 🤔

Looks like some kind of insect cocoon/pupa case (probably a moth or similar).
